Well, you know, people tend to hate the city they grew up in. I live in Temecula, CA, a pinprick on the map, and I’ve been revving up to get out since Freshman year. Other people, however, come here for vacations. They’re like “This is such a cute town! You have practically everything, and it’s so clean and the weather’s so nice…you are so lucky to live here.”

I guess after ten years of college, graduate school, doing whatever in St. Louis/Boston/New York/Baltimore, I’ll want to come back. People in St. Louis/Boston/New York/Baltimore probably want to come here to get away. The point is, any change of scene is good for a college student, whether your destination is the optimum city or not.
